Beauty Shen was originally the most favored. Ever since Mu Liduo entered the palace, the Emperor had not been to the Aroma Palace once. When he saw Mu Liduo, he was so angry that he wanted to say a few words,"It's still Little Sister Li Fei who is loved by the Emperor. It's a warm spring night, so it's inevitable that she wakes up late, unlike us, who are old and yellow and can't enter the Emperor's eyes.
Mu Liduo thought that Beauty Shen was someone who could keep her cool."What is elder sister saying, could it be that elder sister is able to have the time to pay respects to the empress because the emperor has to visit elder sister?
The Empress had a headache and impatiently stopped the two from continuing to bicker."Rain and dew are all the emperor's grace. Could it be that this person wants to learn from the people and turn Jianghuai upside down?”
Everyone quickly stood up and bowed to apologize." I'm afraid. Please punish me, Empress."”
The Empress waved her hand magnanimously and let everyone sit down."Where were we just now? Let's get back to business…"
Noble Consort Jiang bowed and replied,""Empress, you said you wanted to hold a birthday party for the Second Prince.”
Noble Consort Jiang was born into a family of generals, but she had a weak appearance and a soft voice. Mu Liduo chuckled. Everyone in the harem wore a good mask. However, if she took off the mask, how terrifying would she look?
"That's right. Originally, I didn't need to tell you all about this matter. However, the current Second Prince is the Emperor's most beloved Prince. The Emperor has specially ordered me to hold a special birthday banquet.”The Empress said with a smile.
"Why don't we have a feast?" Beauty Shen asked.”
"Sister Shen, don't you know the Second Prince's gender?" Only girls like the Hundred Flower Banquet…"
Beauty Shen thought to herself that she was too anxious and hated Beauty Fang for being so heartless,"Empress niangniang, please forgive me, ChenQie was negligent.”
The Empress looked deeply at Beauty Shen,""He's also an old man in the palace, yet he doesn't even have this little bit of awakening…"
Beauty Shen's face turned pale and she sat in her seat for a long time without saying anything.
Everyone discussed for a while without any results. In the end, the Empress sighed,""There really isn't anyone to confide in…"
"Concubine Li is the most favored by the Emperor, so naturally the Empress who understands the Emperor's thoughts the most feels that the opinions we just said are appropriate…"
The Empress felt that Mu Liduo had just entered the palace and hadn't gone through any celebrations yet, so she definitely didn't have any good suggestions, so she didn't ask her. However, after Beauty Shen mentioned it, she felt that it wasn't good to ignore her, so she still asked,""Concubine Li, do you have any good suggestions…"
Mu Liduo had been sitting there quietly watching the show, but now, she couldn't just answer the Empress 'question. She frowned and felt a little troubled, as if she was thinking of an ambiguous answer.
Beauty Shen sneered at the side, and the other concubines also had strange expressions on their faces.
" It doesn't matter if you say it…" The Empress couldn't figure out the temperament of this new concubine. She couldn't see through her character for the time being, so she could only suppress her temper and be kind. She thought to herself that she had some tricks up her sleeves to become a concubine. It was also a good choice to rope her in.
"Empress, the suggestions of all the elder sisters are not bad. For ChenQie, although it is not a good suggestion, ChenQie can recommend someone. I believe that her idea should be able to do this birthday…"
"Oh, who has such great ability?”The empress was intrigued. She wanted to know who Mu Liduo was talking about.
" Prince Rong's concubine, Ruan Xin…" Mu Liduo said slowly with a smile on her face. She raised her hand elegantly.
At noon, Fourth Concubine had nothing to do after eating. She exercised for a while and felt a little stuffy in her chest. She felt that she had exercised a lot, so she went to bed to rest. Time seemed to pass quickly. When she opened her eyes again, the sky seemed to be dark. It was so dark that she couldn't see clearly. Before she could get out of bed, her eyes hurt. Then, something flowed out of her eyes. It was sticky. She sniffed it. The smell of blood made her heart sink to the bottom of the valley. Could it be that he was blind?
" Qiuxiang, Qiuxiang..." Fourth Concubine shouted nervously and rolled down from the bed.
Just then, Chen Guang passed by the door with Xiao Ling 'er. When he heard Fourth Concubine's scream, he rushed in and saw Fourth Concubine lying on the ground with blood all over her face. He quickly turned around and covered Xiao Ling' er's eyes. She shouted at Fourth Concubine,""Fourth Concubine, don't call me. I'm here…"
" Yes, quickly call a doctor…I seem to have lost my sight…" Fourth Concubine heard the voice of the morning light and felt a little more at ease. She quickly instructed her.
Lying on the ground, she heard Chen Guang say a few words. Then, a pair of warm hands helped her up and placed her on the bed.
"What are you doing? " Hurry up and call the doctor…" Fourth Concubine was very anxious. She didn't expect Chenguang to not call the doctor but help her up instead. What was he doing? Could it be that she had ill intentions?
Chen Guang gave a look to the terrified Xiao Ling 'er, telling her to be quiet and not to speak. Xiao Ling' er nodded with tears in her eyes and held Fourth Concubine's hand tightly.
Fourth Concubine's body froze. She did not expect Xiao Ling 'er to be beside her at this moment. Then, she had also seen Xiao Ling' er's bloody face…
" Fourth Concubine, if you trust me, please listen quietly to what I have to say. It will be quick. After you have finished listening, you can decide what to do…" Chen Guang said in a deep voice as he quietly felt Fourth Concubine's pulse with one hand.
During the period when she was injured, she had read a lot of medical books when she had nothing to do. She did not know if it was natural or acquired, but she was very obsessed with those medical skills. In addition, there were many strange books and strange talks in the South Tianzhu study room that she had never seen before. The more she read, the more enthusiastic she became. In a short month, she had learned about others for several years. It was just that she had not put it into practice. However, Fourth Concubine's inexplicable blindness was not a coincidence. She thought that someone must be playing tricks behind the scenes...
" I suspect that your blindness is not a coincidence. Someone is behind this. If you trust me…let's do this…" Chen Guang said the first half of his sentence in front of Xiao Ling 'er, and the second half was whispered into Fourth Concubine's ear.
After hearing this, Fourth Concubine's emotions were complicated. She did not know whether to believe Chenguang or not. While she was hesitating, Xiao Ling 'er said softly,"" Mother, I believe in sister…"
Her voice undoubtedly confirmed Fourth Concubine's wavering thoughts. Some people said that the most complicated thing might be the simplest thing. Children saw things simply and clearly. They did not have many thoughts. On the contrary, it might be the most correct choice. Those so-called adults thought too deeply about things and lost their original concept of the matter…
" Alright, I believe you…" Fourth Concubine finally compromised.
" Yes, Xiao Ling 'er, go and get Sister Qiuxiang to get a basin of water and put it outside. Tell her that Mother needs to wash her face and don't let her in…" Chen Guang heaved a sigh of relief. Fourth Concubine believed that she was the best. She actually had a huge selfish motive for doing this because she was 99% sure that someone was framing her, and that person was very likely to be her. Unfortunately, she was destined to be disappointed…
"Is that necessary?" Fourth Concubine said hesitantly. Qiuxiang was the maid she trusted the most.
" Fourth Concubine, you must be wary of others. You must know that sometimes, the person closest to you might be…" Chen Guang did not say anything and let Fourth Concubine guess. He sneered in his heart. Fourth Concubine, one day, you will pay the price for everything you have done.
Fourth Concubine was silent. She seemed to have been affected by Chen Guang's words and was secretly trying to figure out what she had said.
Chen Guang brought the water over and helped Fourth Concubine to the shelf where the basin was placed. He used the towel to wash the blood off her face. Then, according to Chen Guang's instructions, he took out a few silver needles from the dressing table, lit the candle, and baked them a few times until she felt that it was enough. Then, he sat beside Fourth Concubine and felt the heat at her temples. Fourth Concubine was shocked and held Chen Guang's hand."What do you want?"
" Acupuncture point…" Chen Guang tried her best to gather her energy. She hoped that nothing would go wrong with this needle. This was the first time she had put what she had learned into practice.
"Can you do it?" Fourth Concubine did not dare to let go of Chen Guang's hand. She was afraid that if she let go, she would lose her life for no reason. She was fine, but what if she left Xiao Ling 'er alone? After all, the child was her life.
Chen Guang sneered. Fourth Concubine had never believed her from the beginning."Fourth Concubine, if I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have done it so blatantly. You should know that harming the members of the imperial family is a capital offense. I have no one to rely on, so I wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.”
Fourth Concubine was speechless. What she said made sense, but she had her reasons to worry. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said,""Do as you see fit."
The poison slowly flowed out from Fourth Concubine's acupuncture points. Chen Guang secretly heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat on his forehead. It seemed that his first time had not failed her expectations. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, caught the poison, and then put it back into his sleeve.
" Fourth Concubine, slowly open your eyes now. Don't open them too hard. You might see something blurry. Wait for me to prepare some medicine for you…" Chen Guang stood up and broke the poisonous needle. He washed his hands to prevent the poison from leaving on them.
Following Chen Guang's instructions, Fourth Concubine slowly opened her eyes. Sure enough, she saw a blurry shadow. Although it was not very clear, her heart calmed down a little when she could see the light. Thinking about how she had doubted Chen Guang's words just now, she did not know how to speak and felt a little embarrassed.
"Fourth Concubine, what did you eat today?”Chen Guang was the first to speak, breaking the awkwardness.
" Today, I didn't eat breakfast. I ate lunch…the same as usual…" After what had just happened, Fourth Concubine's doubts about Chen Guang lessened and she answered truthfully.
